has anyone thought that skooter wheels with cores is just okain useless? i have. i think we should have a wheel company like a skateboard wheel company thats dedicated to making the best street/park riding wheel available. And to do so, it would have to be coreless. therefore thered be no way of it coming off the core or the core breaking or whatnot...its just an idea..i wish someone would do it..theyds have to be a little bit harder than the regular 98A i would love coreless...what do yall think? is there anyone willing to do something like this??IM SO TIRED OF WHEELS BREAKING MELTING CRACKING EXPLODING

Skate wheels are way harder and smaller and fatter then scooter wheels which is why they can be coreless. Coreless scooter wheels would have to be so hard for them to even be able to hold your weight, without bending, that they wouldnt even be rideable. It would be riding on ice. Most scooter wheels are between I think 78a and 88a, with the exception of some hypers. with a coreless wheel soft enough to be able to ride the wheel would just flop over once your weight was put on it and it would probly split or the bearings would fall out. Thats why there is none.

yea probally maybe not if its hard enoff but the hard the easyer to crack so pretty much your damned if you do and your damned if you don't

Coreless wheels for scooters wouldn't work. I just got access to the lathes and mills at my school so I might machine some molds and hubs, but idk if it'd be worth going to school early, i get a discount at the local metal shop(central iron & steel), but it'd still cost a bit for the aluminum.

If someone can find out were to buy polyurethane in 85a compound and a site on how to work with it, ill do it before Christmas some time. I still have to finish my snowscooter though =\

yaks are 78a and low pros are 85a. i doubt coreless wheels would work. they would dehub way to easy

won't work due to the urethane on a skate-board wheels is wide and hard urethane [prolly wrong here] and wheels can be smallish on skateboards otherwise the wheels would be touching the board

Ricky used a urethane very similar to a street skating wheels urethane, it was really strong and good for street, but it was also very slippery in parks.

That might work for the front, but than you have a weaker fork, and your back end is dipped way down to the ground. Someone said it already, if you make a 'skate wheel' for a scooter, it will be like riding on ice. If you don't catch a whip your back end is gonna slide out. They would be loud as hell too.

yeah it would have to be a hard urethane....i think it would be good tho...

they should at least make a solid, small core instead of spokes and stuff

Pretty stupid concept in my opinion, a polyurethane wheel would have to be hard enough not to bend and flex while still not being slippery. This doesn't sound possible.

If you want to have a strong wheel, then what do you thing is a strong material, urethane, plastic or aluminum?

Theres solid core inline skatewheels in 100mm, check the wheel review thread i think someone just posted them like last week.

edit: here, they're called PC-Vane. I dunno how they are though

If I got it right, the guy in the first post is talking about a "skate like" wheel for scooters...dimensions of a scooterwheel, but koncept of a skate wheel...
Whole wheel would be of polyurethane? Yeah right...no way it's doable while havin a good wheel...why not?

First off...a skate wheel has a smaller radius and it's like 2 times wider...it deals beter with side inpacts becouse of these 2 things...

Second, if you don't want the wheel to break you'd need pretty hard polyurethane...even if you get it...it will be loud and slipperi...

Also,a scooter wheel is touching the ground with a smaller surface than skate wheels (wider wheels, more surface to touch the ground) + a scooter has 2 wheels vs. a skate with 4 wheels...that's the reason why a skate has "grip" even if the wheels are hard...

In theory, you could use hard polyurethane for core, soft outside...but yeah, when taking 2 materials, you'll pick plastic/metal for the core, instead of polyurethane... ;)

This design fails in my eyes :)

EDIT: Sorry for spelling, bet there are like 100 mistakes...
